  1. I'm baffled too - I have messaged him to ask lol
  2. That was my initial reaction too For some reason I seem to remember that there was mention about the maximum number being sold as a certain percentage had to be available to still purchase each game
  3. What are the headings on the last two columns?
  4. Five first team players will leave the Robins this summer. Defender Satara Murry will leave City following the conclusion of the 2021/22 FA Championship season after making the journey across the Altantic to link up with Lauren Smith’s Robins in the summer of 2021. The Jamaican international was an experienced and inspirational figure for many in the young City squad, making 24 appearances across the campaign at the heart of the defence. Chelsea-loanee Aggie Beever-Jones will return to her parent club following a fantastic year of service in the City shirt. Beever-Jones made 27 appearances as the forward featured in all but one of Bristol City’s fixtures across the entire 2021/22 season, scoring eight goals. The forward’s form for the Robins was translated onto the international stage. Beever-Jones shone when on duty with the England Under-19s as they secured their spot at the Under-19 UEFA European Championships this summer. Izzy Cook and Maisy Collis will also depart having progressed through the club’s player pathway system and into the first team squad over the last two seasons. Simran Jhamat leaves the club after one season in the South West, making a total of 12 appearances and scoring two goals. Everyone associated with the club would like to thank all five players for their contributions and wish them well in the future.
  5. Additional seating and standing tickets for The Killers just become available https://www.seetickets.com/event/the-killers/ashton-gate/1462413?src=waitinglist
  6. I'm sure in the recent Robins uncut video when Pearson was addressing the team he mentioned it was the following day would be the last time they would be together, hinted that all the usual tests before the summer had been done I'd imagine that meant things would be moving very quickly this week
  7. I'm not sure how many people are aware, but before EVERY away league game this season Matt and his team have delivered meals to homeless charities in the local community to where City are playing. During the 23 away games this season they have delivered to 17 charities at 20 different venues, delivering over ONE THOUSAND meals to homeless people. Personally I don't think this gets enough recognition, but what am amazing thing to do on behalf of Bristol City
  8. To be pedantic, yes he has spent a fortune. BUT, he's also received a fortune as well
  9. Sold at Southerbys this afternoon for £7,142,500
  10. You are spot on, the cess pit of a ground is unsafe to hold any serious numbers now, no doubt the building of additional tents has taken additional standing space on those magnificent open terraces

    Was always puzzled when they had the extra official behind the goal in European games that they were always the same side of the pitch as the linesmen, was the perfect time to solve the problem of a official possibly having a blind spot on the opposite side of the pitch

    Muppets

    Completely agree with this point, but it is easy to name songs that fans use the tunes of to sign along to - these songs kill two birds by creating the tunes for fans to sign to

    League AGM

    I believe there has been a bit of discussion between the club, the SC&T and a number of affected supporters on this topic and City are leading the way with trying to get a resolution to this problem Possibly not common knowledge but Scott Murray mentioned that he was colour blind and he has seen first hand from his role in the club the problems being created Hopefully this is something that will be resolved for those impacted
  14. I believe he was banned June last year, people can't miss him that much if people are only just noticing again now
  15. Was good to see Lauren Smith on SSN this morning talking about the upcoming WSL fixtures, nice that she is getting recognition For anyone interested Arsenal Vs Spurs WSL is live on BBC2 this evening 7:15pm kick off
  16. Not Championship yet, but potentially a side going to have problems Burnley face 'significant' loan repayment if relegated, accounts show Burnley would need to pay back "a significant proportion" of a £65m loan at the end of the season if relegated from the Premier League. The loan was taken out as part of the club's takeover by ALK Capital in December 2020. The information is contained in the release of the club's latest financial accounts to 31 July 2021. The club does say in the event of relegation it is "satisfied" it would retain the support of its lenders. However, the information is bound to spark concern among fans given the delicate position of Burnley in the Premier League table. Widely condemned as a panic move by chairman Alan Pace, who led the ALK takeover, the decision has so far been vindicated by a run of four matches unbeaten under temporary boss Mike Jackson, including three successive wins. That has taken Burnley, who have four games remaining, up to 16th in the table, two points clear of Everton, who are third from bottom but have a game in hand. The financial state of Burnley has been debated since ALK's takeover. In the latest accounts, it is confirmed that £102m-worth of debt has been taken on through two of its holding companies, £65m to Burnley FC Holdings Ltd and £37m to the Burnley Football and Athletic Company. On the £65m loan specifically, it is outlined in the accounts that it attracts 8% annual interest. Only interest payments are made until December 2025, when the entire sum due is due to be repaid. However, relegation brings that repayment date forward significantly, with a further "significant reduction of the loan balance" due in what is described as "a continuing relegation scenario" - if the club failed to return to the top flight. "The balance can potentially be settled by various means, and the group's reserves are sufficient to enable a significant proportion of the balance to be settled by way of dividends if required," the accounts say. The club has £50m in reserves - down from £80m in last year's financial results. Over the year to July 2021, the club's turnover fell from £134m to £115m, which the club said was driven by "the lack of fan attendance" due to Covid restrictions "and the lower placed league finish at 17th". It mean the club recorded a £3m pre-tax loss. The accounts also state that following the end of the reporting period, Burnley advanced £10m to a "fellow group company".
